Wednesday is mine!
I take the kids and a pile of kid related stuff (nappies, spare clothes, crafty things, toys, foods, sometimes I feel like we're moving out) and head out for a long day. We're out of the house for 11 hours...
I love it because we go to craft with "Grunty Liz" and "the ladies" (Other than my aunty, myself and the kids, the average age of the crafters is about 75). Here we spend most of the time chatting and sometimes fit in some craft too.
After craft we visit Great Nana for lunch and Scrabble (Yes, I'm a nerd), then we do the grocery shopping, then on to Nanny Lola's for dinner with Daddy and then home...a long day, pretty much the reason I tend to spend most of the week at home.
Over the past 6-8 months I've just been taking my teddy cross-stitch to craft, which is partly because I'm lazy and don't want to pack up other projects to take, and partly because it's one of those projects that I just do not do when I'm at home (it now lives in the car). While we were at craft this morning I couldn't focus enough to concentrate on the stitching, so instead I used my little assistant's ball of wool and did some four-finger knitting which left most of the ladies intrigued and got us all talking about the weird and wonderful techniques we knew about using yarn. Most of us know how to knit and/or crochet, but we were talking about Tunisian crochet and Knooking and a couple of other things. It was very inspiring and I have spent the last 2 hours googling these things and absolutely no time on my quilt, so sorry, but no progress to report from today. But I'm heading to bed with a head full of ideas and inspiration, so hopefully that means I'll have beautiful dreams and maybe a productive Thursday...hahaha.
I hope your Wednesday was as lovely as mine!
